The Secret

I believe the poem “The Secret” by Denise Levertov is about learning through thought and imagination. I believe the two girls in the poem are reading a poem and deciphering what it means to them. What these two girls learn the secretmay not be what the author is meaning the lesson or the secret meaning hidden in the poem to be (“I who don’t know the secret wrote the line”). These two girls will not tell what they have learned or found or even give a hint. I believe they want other people to look for themselves and see what they can find or learn. The author now believes after time passes that these two girls have moved on to something else and have forgotten what they found or learned the first time. The author is happy about this because it gives the girls a reason to read this poem many more times and find new lessons and secrets. The author still doesn’t know what these two girls are talking about with the secret but he is glad they think there is a secret, he is grateful for them.
